The fact that the Israeli torpedo boats ran right up alongside the Liberty and poured everything they had into to her, even machine gunning the life boats, tells me that the Israeli forces wanted NO survivors who could tell the story.
Israel was trying to sink the Liberty to get rid of the evidence. It happens.
Two pilots for the IAF went to jail for not firing on the Liberty.
Johnson and his administration covered it up or at least tried to.
He wrote the piece years ago when he was an academic and it is amply footnoted to reference specific source material.
If 'the Israeli forces wanted NO survivors who could tell the story' there would have been NO SURVIVORS!
Did you read the piece?

Any yet there were survivors. How do you explain that? Israel wanted them obliterated, but then decided to let them limp away?
